Horry County police have person ‘safely detained’ following home barricade

HORRY COUNTY, S.C. (WBTW) — Horry County authorities on Tuesday “safely detained” a person after they barricaded themselves inside a home along Summit Trail Tuesday afternoon,

County spokesperson Mikayla Moskov told News13 just before 5 p.m. that the incident began when members of the Horry County Sheriff’s Office tried to serve papers at the residence. By 5:30 p.m., the person was in custody.

Adjacent homes were evacuated out of an “abundance of caution,” and others are being asked to steer clear of the area, Moskov said. Drone surveillance and other special operations units may be visible for some time.
